What the club says: The course was taken over by the current owners in June 2016 who continue to work hard and make Barlborough Links the best 9 hole course in the area with greens to rival those of more expensive establishments. Continued regular cutting regimes, newer equipment and a greens management programme are helping to keep the course in good shape. USGA spec greens mean summer greens are in play all year round. Regular rotation of grass tees also assists the aim to stay on grass for as long as possible, only moving to mats when absolutely necessary.

A 9 hole par 35 FootGolf course was installed in July 2016 and provides an ideal place for young and old to take their first steps into the principles of golf using a football.

March 2017 saw the opening of a new Reception and small coffee shop housed within the existing driving range, taking the number of bays available to 11. A small selection of hot/cold drinks and chocolate are currently available.

Consistent opening hours in Reception are restoring the faith of previous customers who weren't sure when the course or range would be open!

Friendly 9 Hole Course & Range

Nicely kept 9 hole course with flat driving range fitted with some launch monitors. Balls and mats on the range are good quality. And the greens on the 9 hole course were excellent for the time of year.

Course is in great condition compared with my visits a few years back. Very impressive work undertaken. Greens up there as some of the best in the area (too fast for me!). Perhaps investment in bunkers at some stage would assist otherwise keep up the great work. Final/9 hole lake gets me every time.
